they are parameter tables / BOM from MCAD software.

So its important that we keep the original text file content spacing etc.
Addionally would this work if we attached the .txt file to a thread?

Ideally we would attach the file, and have a view of it in the thread for quick
study and troublshooting.

Oh! and also since this is possible it takes me to another obvious question.
The software also produces .xml files they are much cleaner than the .txt
file output versions and require no filtering on input accross different work
platforms, we already have the ability to attach them in the forums but what
are the possibilies of viewing either .xml of html files in a thread?

I am just curious about .xml and .html data viewing and I'm not asking anyone
to go out of there way to prove it can be done or anything, its just that if
you could see see this data, would it still function like it does when we publish
it from the software?

ex: Publishing a BOM in MCAD produces a nicely formated Bill Of Materials page
with links and dynamic content to expand and colapse details on the job.

If there was a way to post that in a thread, I think it could revolutionize the
support forums for this type of work environment.

Hi

Yes all that can be done, I have xml parser that can put xml files in a thread/post and can format the output in many ways, like an array, a list, a numbered list, all with key word link support. I even have one that can show pdf documents in line keeping the exact layout of the pdf file! All using the same rules as this basic example but using other functions too!

Any example you need just ask me!
